CSAC 55/9/77 CONTEMPORARY SCIENTIFIC ARCHIVES CENTRE Supported by the Royal Society, the British Library and the Council of Engineering Institutions Report on the papers of Professor Norman McOmish Dott, CBE, FRSE (1897 - 1973) Compiled by: Jeannine Alton Harriot Weiskittel Deposited in the Library of the University of Edinburgh, 1978 N.M. Dott CSAC 55/9/77 Description of the collection 1 The papers were received from Mrs. Dott (widow), via the Scottish Record Office, Edinburgh. Norman McOmish Dott was descended from a Huguenot refugee family (originally D'Ott) which settled in Scotland about 1680. His father and grandfather were fine art dealers and picture framers in Edinburgh, and after education at George Heriot's School (see esp. A.32-A.38 for Dott's continuing links with and affection for the school), he was himself apprenticed as a joiner and an engineer. In 1913 he suffered serious injury to a hip in an accident, and during his hospitalization and convalescence the observation of the practice of medicine determined his future career and he entered Edinburgh University Medical School in 1914. Awarded the Syme Surgical Fellowship in 1921, he worked with Sir Edward Sharpey-Schafer, and his studies on the Pituitary led to the award of a Rockefeller Fellowship which enabled him to work as Assistant Resident to Harvey Cushing at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, Boston, 1923-24 (see under 'Cushing' in index of corres- pondenis). With the notable exception of this year, from which he returned, in his own words, "a Cushing disciple, with missionary zeal to establish modern Surgical Neurology in Edinburgh", and a briefer visit to Cushing in 1929, Dott remained in his native city throughout his career. He did much to establish Surgical Neurology there, and was the first holder of the Chair in that discipline at its University (see B.1-B.10). He was a Founder Memberof the Society of British Neurological Surgeons in 1926 (see F.42-F.106), and served with Jefferson, Cairns and others on the Brain Injuries Committee of the M.R.C. during the Second World War (see B.17-B.35). All these activities are well documented in the collection; see the introductory notes to the separate sections on pps.11, 31,72, 74,79, 92. In addition, the careful lecture notes in section C give a picture of the teaching developments in neurosurgery, while the correspondence with Cushing, Jeffer- son and many other leading figures trace the organization and personalities involved, especially in the second quarter of this century. There is also an extensive record, in section F, of the many aspects of public health in Scotland and elsewhere in which Dott played an active part. Almost all of these relate to care of the disabled, and it was characteristic of him that he devoted his last spell of professional activity to using his own experience of colostomy surgery and disability to establishing special clinics to help other sufferers (see under colostomy in index of medical topics). N.M. Dott CSAC 55/9/77 2 Fuller accounts of Dott's life and career, and of the honours and awards he re- ceived, can be found in section A, esp. A.1-A.5. Dott said of himself that “perhaps dearest to his heart is the Freedom of the City of Edinburgh, 1962, being the first award of this honour to a doctor since it was conferred on Lord Lister and on Sir James Simpson about a century earlier, and also the Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Society of Medi- cine, being a recognition of a ‘prophet’ in his own land". A collection of Dott's Medals and Certificates of honour is held at the premises of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Photographs, charts and diagrams related to Dott's research and teaching are held at the Department of Surgical Neurology, University of Edinburgh Medical School, Western General Hospital, Edinburgh. Titles and descriptions of items in inverted commasin the list below are those which appear on the documents. All items are manuscript uniess otherwise stated. The help of Dr. C.W.M. Whitty in selecting and identifying material, and the patient care of Mr. J.M. Potter in reading and advising on the draft handlist are very gratefully acknowledged. N.M.

Active neurological surgery for civilians and members of the armed forces was transferred to Bangour, while 'Ward 20' at R.I.E. was used mainly for out-patients. 5-year grant from the Rockefeller Foundation enabled Dott to recruit and train a specialist staff and establish Edinburgh as a major centre of Surgical Neurology.

Many of the major overseas tours include a Dott made and kept notes, in varying detail, of names, addresses, careers and interests of many individuals met in the course of travel, of the organisation, methods and lay-out of the hospitals he visited, and of the papers and discussions at meetings. These often enable a picture to be established of the state of neurosurgery, its developments and leading figures, at a particular place and time. The more extended tours took place after Dott's retire- ment in 1962, when he was often invited to speak on his own specialty and also on hospital/ward planning and organisation, medical education and curriculum etc. statements of his plans and reasons for undertaking such tours. See E.42, E.45 for E.1-E.11 Tour of U.S.A. and Canada, April-May 1955 This tour was financed by various Edinburgh funds and Dott kept full notes of his journey, including travel grants. professional meetings and discussions, papers and lectures given or attended, methods, equipment and hospital planning etc. as well as personal information, and wrote them up for reports and talks on his return. The tour, beginning in New York and the Eastern states of America, included Dott's Hughlings Jackson Lecture at Montreal (see D.81-D.82) and his address to the Harvey Cushing Society at Quebec (see D.62, D.96).

He served as Assistant Secretary 1927-28 and as President 1938-45. Dott was a loyal member of the Society and participated as fully as possible in its professional meetings, its business meetings and various ad hoc committees instituted for special purposes from time to time, particularly those concerned with training, staffing and status in the specialty. The papers contain an almost complete run of programmes of the Society's meetings from 1926-73, with accompanying minutes, agendas etc. in varying detail. In his later years, Dott was unable to attend all meetings, especially those held abroad in conjunction with foreign societies federated to the World Federation of Neurological Societies. The more detailed records and correspondenceof the period up to (c) 1966 shows the important part he played, with Jefferson, Cairns and other Founder Members, in the affairs of the Society. The corres- pondence with Jefferson in particular is relaxed and informative, and often includes details of professional cases and treatment, and some personal/social news, as well as $.B.N.S. matters.

Dott always regarded his time with Cushing as the most important and influential event in his professional life, and referred to it passim in lectures, talks and correspondence. The correspondence ranges widely; it includes details of professional cases and treatment, the development of neurology/neurosurgery in U.S.A. and U.K. and the individuals and institutions concerned, arrangements for mutual vists, publications, appointments, colleagues, etc. The mutual respect and admiration of Cushing and Dott is very clear in this correspondence. 3 folders: H.1 1924-27 H.2 1928-31; also includes corresp. re memorial volume for Cushing's 60th birthday (1928-29) and re Doft's plans for neuro-surgery in Edinburgh 1929-31 H.3 1933-38 H.4 H.5 H.6 Corresp. with John Saunders on congenital hip dislocation, 1931-32; includes photographs and copy of paper on subject by Saunders.
